FASHIONS. (Fhim the Saturday Reviac.) The Fashion of this world, we are told, passeth away. Tiaies change, empires fall, dresses are altered. The first beginning of all rcficctive philosophy is to dwell on the mutability and the Trorthlessness of earthly things. In our day, thercSectionhasbccomsuac&amp;ncycJ- Wc have played and snorted with the thought that England may some day be a waste and London in ruins, till chance no longer seems something solemn and imposing. It is only in a general way that wo accept as a truth that the things that are will not be. Partly this is because if we take ths mutability of things in its widest sense, it seems not to concern us much. If the universe is perishable, that is only interesting as a philosophic truth or a philosophic jtuok.. We could scarcely, in our most hopeful m:md, expect to survive the y-»nerai frame of things. But there is also au.iiiier reason why w» do uct tool as * much impressed with change a? might be looked tor. Ws cannot...
